BOOK
Send a request to book a photographer & complete your booking with secure, electronic payment.
Lokalphoto uses a messaging system that allows you to request to book a photographer for a specific date. The photographer has 24 hours to accept or decline your request, refine the schedule, or ask you questions about your shoot. When a photographer responds to your request, Lokalphoto will send you an email to let you know. If the photographer doesn’t respond within 24 hours, your request simply expires, and you’re free to submit another booking request.
When the booking is accepted by the photographer, Lokalphoto asks for your payment details to complete the booking. Once your payment is processed, you’ll receive a congratulatory email that includes your receipt, shoot details, and tips from your photographer for a great shoot.
